When u go to aircond shop for full aircond servicing..ask them to seal off permanently the fresh air intake hole. This will prevent the outside air from penetrating into the cabin.

I've complaint about this before when i did the full aircond servicing on my previous Waja & the aircond 'taiko' at that shop suggest that they can seal the fresh air intake hole if i want it. The result is great..no more outside smell..no more outside smoke. But the downside are..u might easily feel sleepy during long driving (especially when full with passengers) due to lack of oxygen (but u can wind down your window from time to time to get fresh air) & no more fresh air circulation mode (though u select the fresh air circulation mode)..up to u to decide..but i personally done that before

I can vouch for that, did the same exact thing for my wira a month ago. Now, no more smelly fumes from outside.

Can a good filter do the job? Because i think to completely seal off is not good

ya...most old man will wait till car launch and go see it only they book
unless its just a saga that is
this is a 70k+ car...they usually will look at it 1st

If can use active carbon air filter, that might do the trick. As in my Forte (got active carbon cabin air filter), though i can still smell the smoke or smelly air from outside, but it is at a very minimal & acceptable level...

LOL.. dun play2. we need oxygen to breath wei..

Hahaha..yalor..that's why i open my car windows for a while when i felt sleepy..a sign of oxygen shortage.. I opt to seal it becoz i cannot tahan the thick smoke from vehicles at the front especially from buses, lorries & 2-stroke motorcycle that penetrate into the cabin (working @ KL that time)..this situation is not good to our health as well..

u already book rite? so one of ur mission is to find out for ppl like me whether got aircon filter or not in the preve

IIRC, someone mentioned got filter in aircon...

I guess the lacking of oxygen is better than the smoke from outside?

a good air filtration is a plus, especially for those drive whole day

some ppl on EB thread is having issue with the cat suddenly engine stutter and died when the fan kick in.

Add me in the list

K2002 | Blue Lagoon | CFE CVT

QFT.

Those "rich people" that you see spending money like flowing water most likely are spending someone else's money, eg. their parent's.

Wait, nowadays still got new cars that don't have aircon filter?

dares: you 3 month review on saga flx don't sound good le. doesn't really instill confidence in preve. you mention they tweak the suspension harder in favor of better handling at the expense of comfort, then something about the cvt mounting, rear brake drum that takes several weeks to rectify and the usual quality issue like rattling...

As a globar car, i believe it surely got..hopefully. Just not sure whether it is a normal aircond filter or an active carbon filter. How i wish the aircond also come with the plasmacuster (ionizer)..hehe..too demanding perhaps

soon to be global car, mind you.

right now its just a local car msian will be their beta tester before launching globally. only then it becomes a global car

In a short day to day town driving, oxygen lacking is not an issue i believe & i can always open my car windows for a while (when the outside air is clear enough) when needed

It is what it is.

Don't get me wrong though, it can be a fun car to drive with the S4PH + CVT combo, and without the burden of RM1k/month installment at the back of your head when you drive it. It is still, IMO, the best spec car sub RM50k.

That being said, it is again done in by poor QC. None of them affect the driveability of the car, it just annoys the hell outta me. That's why I am still waiting to see if there are any improvements on Preve in this aspect.

Yea, the ride is pretty harsh for a family car, but I have gotten used to it.

donno about that, maybe cheaper car doesn't has filter, or its a compulsory to have filter in every car?
